I am trying to set up a usr broadband router,at the moment it is connected to an analogue modem but will eventually be connected to an isdn TA. The router is working as i can ping the isp but I cant connect through IE to any addresses. Can anyone suggest any settings on IE that might need a tweak ?

can you ping ?
can you ping 216.115.102.79 ?
If not to either question, what error message do you get?

You could try using the ip address instead of the url in Internet Explorer just to make sure IE is working OK. Assuming the above works without the router, then the router may be set up to block IP ports, if so make sure the DNS port 53 is not blocked. If that's OK then check if it's blocking incoming ports since the nameserver answers back on a random udp port greater than 1023.
